Post subject: | Rated games on IGS, how? |
I finally decided to try to play on IGS but I have problems to figure out how to play rated games, maybe I'm just stupid^^' I have played a few games over the automatch function and all of them where free games. On KGS you can decide if you want to play rated or free games but I don't see that option on IGS. My question is how can I play a rated game? |

Which client did you use? On gIGo, if you are in the Default room, matches are rated by default. (I almost never use the automatch function; I match manually.) |

I use the GoPanda client found here: http://www.pandanet-igs.com/communities/gopanda |

Its been a while since I've played on IGS (or any server, for that matter), but as far as I recall, there are rules -- you must play a game against an already solid rated player, and within a few stones handicap range, otherwise it falls back to non-rated. and I think it also takes longer to lose the BC classification on IGS than it does on KGS |

Thanks EdLee and xed_over for your help! @xed_over: yeah I realized that incorrect handicap and an opponent with "?" in the rating leads to unreated games. I figured that out when I read this really careful: http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/ratingsystem/ I also changed to the glGo Client since it supports 3D. |
